MEXICO.
Observance OF Independence Day-Opcnirg
of tho National Congress.

Observance OF Independence ay-Opcnirg
of tho National Congress-
CITY OF MEXICO, Sept. 17,-Independ-
ence Day was celebrated with great en-
thusissm. The city was finely decorated.
The illumination last night was magnif
cent. AZ IL O'Clock last night President
Disz sppeared to great crowds in front
of the National Palace, and repeated the
history of the declaration of independ-
ence. As his words died aWsy q salute
Of cannon was fired and the people
marched through the streets with bands
of music.
President Diaz opened Congress with
the usual ceremonies this afternoon. His
message deals mainly with practical re-
view Of the material progress OF the cOun-
try. He said that, generally speaking,
Mexico's relations with foreign
countries were harmonious. That
harmonious relations continue to be
cultivated with the United States, and il
there be not wanting diplomatic com
plants OF one against the other country,
it is due to the eff.irs of private individ-
uals who deem themselves injured, and
this must be considered the conse quance
of contact which the neighborhO0d pro-
duces, ard this contact is growing more
and more intimate dsily by reason of rail
wsy connection. The eXtradition of the
two Americans who committed crime at
MatamorGs has been denied, 1t being al
legged at other times that neither did the
treaty enforce or compel rendition OF
citizens Of the country in which the deed
was done, nor has the President Of the
United States power so to act with citl-
zens Of that republic. The President then
takes up the question of the relations of
Mexico with Guatemala. On the ques-
ton Of railways, the President remarks
continued progress and construction OF
new roads, the completion of lines Snd
anticipates that Huntington's interna-
tional road will be completed to point
on the Central Railway, by the last of
December. The President notes the in
PRODUCTION of new crops in domestic ag-
riculture, and says that the colonies
which were established by the government
were now paying for their land out OF
their surplus earnings. On fiscal mat
tiers, the President said that the Treasury
met all bills for civil and military expens-
es during the fiscal year just closed, and
that the public debt continues to be re-
duced. The government revenues had
increased $2,000,000 The President
notes with pleasure the success OF the
new and more liberal tariff in force since
July. He discerns an excellent fuancia
outlook. He says 81, 900, 600 of the in
terror debt has been liquidated ard con
| verted. The message gives much salts
faction is business circles.

HIS GRACELESS GRACE

The Duke of Marlborough, who does
not answer to his name and who de-
mands that his fellow-men shall bestow
upon him the ducal sou5riquet, "your
grace" when humbly speaking to him, is
having a most intoleraole time of it in
free America. The American newspaper
reporter is the bane of his existence.
"WAat right" he asks, "has any one to
much pay my cook Drill keep butler?"
His petulence blinds him perhaps, but q
msn with half an eye ought to be able to
see that, while American newspapers care
little about his cook or butler, excepting
as "padding" to fill out an interview,
they would give their eye teeth,
SO to speak, to lesrn all
about the number and style of house
maids with which his grace manages to
get along. Thst, indeed, IS the "meat" CT
the interview, and his reception in society
will be settled definitely BY coming out,
like good fellow, and telling the news
papers all about it. The housemaid in
free America is Sn institution that cannot
be ignored or even sighted with impuni-
ty. Another source CT endless misery is
the faculty which some editors have of
going behind the record Of present events
and collstiDg historical dats OF a ma
tuTe personal to the Duke. BE threatens
to put lot OF these "cruel
criticisms" in a glass case ard
show them to the crowd of American
tourists who wesr cut the carpets OF his
country house every summer. He sd
mits that he is SO bad that the American
eagle hiss lost all its wing feathers in
chasing his sins, but that others are as
deep in the mud as he is in the mire and
the labors Of the critic should be devoted
to nendirg those near home, and should
| let the stranger go free. There is O. good
deal of elegant sarcasm in what his grace
says, but he should recollect that people
in this country do not claim to be per-
| pect. Whenever they discover q
hereditary, practical, shameless lib
ertine, they have right to expose
hin and refuse to receive him in their
families. II American tourists bother
his country house he can send them away
The people of America do not pretend &c
wear wings, but they do refuse to honor
any man who parades his libertinism il
the face of the public; the Americans ere
not angels, perhaps, but they do honor
respect for public opinion.

THE COTTON CROP

After all the losses sustained by dis
heartenipg drouths, devastating floods
and the visitation OF the boil worm, the
outlook for the cotton crop of Texas may
be considered fattering. II we are favored
with late frosts, large crop will &c mar
keted and Texas will retain her prestige
ss s cotton producing state. There are
sections where the crop has been injured
and where shipments will be considerably
decreased over former years; there
are other sections where the output
will be larger and, If the number
of bales will not exceed that Of last year,
there will be at least an equal number
made. The season Is in its infancy and
vet the number of bales gold is very en-
couraging, taken as whole. Fort Worth,
according to THE GAzRTTE's report yes
terday morning, received nesrly LOO bales
| on Friday, and other towns, doubtless,
| can make as fair q showing. The
enormous expanse of territory covered

by cotton farms in Texas render IT diff
fcult to intelligently estimate the general
yield with any degree OF accuracy.
The best that can be done Ia to approx
mate, unless in general way and by con-
sidering the entire state. 1t is unwise to
overestimste the crop, as /. has tendency
to Lessen the price, and incline purchasers
to believe that later on they can supply
themselves at lower figures, but IS the
yield in many of the cotton states has
been cut short by the drought, prices in
the future are not liable to be less thar
at present. The elaborate system OF
gathering data relative to the condition OF
the cotton crop all over the world, and
the scrutiny with which every change
in it's condition is watched, give to the
collated and published reports character
of authenticity and a semblance Of
accuracy which cannot be Ignored and,
certainly, not disputed. The best in
formation obtainable would indicate that
while the American crop will be less than
last year, Texas will not share in the
decrease and may enjoy an increase. II
is surely fisttering for Texas to be able
to hold her own in spite of the many
drawbacks of the past summer. II
should give our people faith and conf
dence in the superiority of this over ali
other st.tes
